Sunday Confession: My blog needs (better) organization.

-

Since this blog is my baby, I've been letting it grow and develop with little restrictions. I am realizing now it is old enough to have a regimented schedule. Not to mention, the librarian part of me is calling out for a more organized approach to blogging!

Here is a tentative weekly schedule for my blog:

Reviews: Tuesdays and Fridays will be days for posting book reviews. If I am only able to get one book review completed for the week (I'm guessing this will be the norm), that post will go up on Friday so that my blog has consecutive days of posting (Wednesday through Sunday). If I happen to get two reviews done for the week, I will post the second review on Tuesday. 

Wednesday Reads: Wednesdays I will be exercising my reader's advisory skills (fancy librarian jargon for "book recommendation skills") and pulling books together on a certain topic, essentially doing a digital book display for a post. Topics will be based on popular trends in literature, and pop culture.

Lari Librarian Says...: Thursdays I will focus a post around a topic having to do with libraries, library services, library technology, library buildings, library programs, etc. I look forward to highlighting things libraries do right, how libraries are helping people, and library advocacy. Or I might just point out something generally cool about a library or libraries. 

Saturday Night Cinema/TV:  I really love television. I really love movies. So many television shows and films are based on great literature and offer a magical approach to storytelling. So on Saturdays, I plan on sharing movie trailers of literary based films I'm looking forward to seeing, and or movie/tv related news. 

Sunday Confession: Sundays I will post something introspective which summarizes my progress with writing for the week, things I would like to improve with my writing habits and the blog, things I have been successful with during the week, and goals. (i.e. What you are reading now.)

Comments, suggestions? How do you organize your blog?

    Thanks, Becky. I am looking forward to it. I think it will keep me from stressing about blogging, as well. It will be nice to have set days so I can plan ahead.

    Gina- Thanks! I think having a consistent schedule will be quite useful. And I definitely will include other fun things now and then, but it will be good to have a stable "meat and potatoes" to the blog. :)Thanks for following!

Q. Name 3 authors that you would love to sit down and spend an hour or a meal with just talking about either their books or get advice on writing from? I know they are dead, but since this is a hypothetical question to begin with, I would vote for Mark Twain, Carl Sagan, and J. R. R. Tolkien. Hands down. I don't know how much talking I would do. I would just sit down and listen to them say fabulous things.  Q. What’s the ONE GENRE that you wish you could get into, but just can’t? Romance. For instance, even after trying to enjoy it, I have never been a Jane Austen fan. I find the Mr. Darcy obsession intriguing but I just think it's all boring. There is such a huge following for romance, however, and a lot of good stuff out there I'm sure. And even though I have a difficult time liking the genre, every now and then I'm pleasantly surprised.

Welcome new followers! I have a pretty sweet giveaway going on right now, be sure to check it out. Also if you are new, please visit my about page to learn a little more about me and the blog. First question from Parajunkee's Feature & Follow Friday ! Q. How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently? Oh man. I love a lot of the same stuff I loved as a teen. But that doesn't mean my reading habits haven't changed, they have. I think they've changed for the better. When I was a teen, I was only into fantasy fiction, today, I'm into all sorts of crazy things like books about philosophy, sociology, psychology, religion, science, etc. I've also broadened my fiction reading into not just fantasy, but regular fiction as well.   Q. Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting...

E-Reading in the Bathtub?

Okay, so a lot of people say that e-readers never will replace print because they just, well, love paper books so much. I get it. When I get a new hardbound book and crack open the cover for the first time, the smell is intoxicating. I swear publishers put some kind of drug in the book binding glue to make it so addictive. But I also love my e-reader, and have been using it more and more... and in some cases, I'm preferring it over some paper books (because it isn't as heavy). Also, in June 2011, adult paperback books plunged 64% from last year, while e-book sales went up 161 percent . This suggests that while many hardcover books are still being purchased (though it dropped 25 % in the same month), people who just want to read a book for the sake of the words, and not the format (i.e. paperback readers), are starting to gravitate towards e-books. Libraries have growing digital collections, and some libraries have already started lending e-readers . I think in the future,...
